Black Chandeliers by Matthew McCormick

Chandeliers & Suspension Lighting

Chandeliers are more than just a source of light, they define your space and serve as a focal point. Whereas chandeliers were once typically seen as extravagances for traditional homes, chandeliers of all styles are popping up in homes around the world today. More versatile than they were in the past, chandeliers are now also found in any room.

A chandelier makes a beautiful, classic entryway light that gives family and friends and immediate first impression. Dining room chandeliers provide an intimate setting, perfect for dinner parties and other gatherings. Chandeliers with shades create a warm and inviting atmosphere, especially when dimmed. You can even place a chandelier in your kitchen, bedroom or bathroom. Anything goes!

Before you settle on any particular fixture, take the dimensions of the space into consideration. Chandeliers are usually sized by diameter, height and/or the number of bulbs they have. Most rooms will accept a four- to six-light chandelier, and larger rooms may accommodate a two- or three-tiered fixture, depending on ceiling height. If you aren't sure if your favorite chandelier will be balanced within a given room, use our Chandelier Size Calculator to help determine the size that's right for you.

Chandeliers are a perfect design solution, adding unique personality to any space.
